Three years The Hustler’s junior, The Sting stars Paul Newman and Robert Redford as a pair of old-time scammers who team up to pull off the ultimate con. It is a follow-up to their earlier collaboration Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.

This time the fix is in, the odds are set, and the boys are ready to play for the big time, both on the screen and behind the camera in this breezy, endlessly entertaining movie classic – set in the mid 1930s – which took the Best Picture Oscar in 1973.

So full of twists and turns at every unexpected moment, The Sting – which features plenty of poker and a phony off-track betting operation – never stops drawing you into all of its traps. All of it is performed at a fast clip and the performances have all the nuances needed to keep you entertained and in suspense.

That said, do not expect a film full of games of pool with trick shots galore either. But if you are a first-timer viewer of this black and white masterpiece, it will have you gripped. It was the movie which turned Paul Newman into a superstar and ...

Should Rockstar Games prioritize GTA Casino on Android instead of another console port

September 17, 2021

GTA 5 lacks an official port on Android devices, yet Rockstar chooses to prioritize other console ports. Focusing on an official Android port would be tricky. There's no issue with its playerbase (there are millions of Android users with an upgraded device). Instead, it's a logistics problem when it comes to developing a game as massive as GTA 5 on mobile devices. Rockstar Games isn't omniscient. They can't work on GTA 6, trilogy remasters, and a port of GTA 5 to phones all at the same time. Theoretically, they could, but it would likely result in some severe issues for the consumer down the line. Video game companies have limited resources, even when they have substantial budgets.
